Bath resealing near Lower Eype

About our bath resealing in Lower Eype

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Eype use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lower Eype

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Lower Eype questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Eype

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
